DETROIT, Mich. – Fifty-four Butzel Long attorneys have been chosen by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® 2017 (copyright 2016 by Woodward/White, Inc. of Aiken, SC). The 2017 edition marks the first time that attorney Linda Kennedy has been named to Best Lawyers.

Moreover, the following firm attorneys have been named Lawyer of the Year (Metro): James E. Wynne (Personal Injury Litigation – Defendants and Product Liability Litigation – Detroit ); James J. Urban (Construction Law and Litigation – Construction – Lansing); and, R. Peter Prokop (Corporate and Tax Law – Bloomfield Hills).

Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”

The following Butzel Long attorneys were selected for the 2017 edition:
